Making a Hovercraft(STEAM Project)

Along with working on my metal stool chair, I've also been working on a project at my school's STEAM Club. Last year I worked on making an individual life size hovercraft and present it at the science fair. This year, we are planning to make a new and improved version.

In this blog, I will show all the steps I took in the making of my prototype of a brand new hovercraft!

Fixing a Metal Stool Pt. 8

Last time I worked my stool chair, I was spot welding the triangular pieces flat against the foot ring rests I made and TIG Welded onto the legs of the stool.

Now it's time to finally add the finishing touches, and I'm finally done!

As the school year is coming to an end, I thought it would be best to make an end of the year post.

I'm going to be briefly answering questions that will wrap up my senior year of my Machines & Tools Class.

Fixing a Metal Stool Pt. 7

I last left off with my stool when I was using an angle grinder to remove the stumps on the legs of my stool.

Right after, I had to bend my foot ring rest pieces at a 90 degree angle

And then....It was finally time to weld!

Fixing a Metal Stool Pt. 6

Last time I worked on my metal stool chair, I made the pieces for the foot rest ring. My next step was to bend them all on a 90 degree. But before I began to do that and weld them onto the legs of the stool, I had to do one more step.

Fixing a Metal Stool Pt. 5

I last left off my project on the Metal Stool Chair with the welding of the two legs. I knew that I wasn’t done yet. I had to make the foot rest ring that the stool chair needed.
